The Alberg 37 is a classic, medium-to-heavy displacement fiberglass cruiser designed by Carl Alberg and built by Whitby Boatworks between 1967 and 1988.0:59 With 248 hulls produced, the design features a 10'2" beam, a 26'6" waterline, and a 5.5' draft.1:34 The Mark II version, introduced in the early 1970s, replaced wood toe rails with fiberglass, integrated a dodger splash guard into the deck mold, and utilized a molded floor support liner to improve durability and production efficiency.3:26 Known for structural integrity, the hull is exceptionally thick, though prospective buyers should inspect bulkheads and floor tabbing for adhesion loss, as well as stanchion bases for deck leaks.7:30 Refit costs for these vessels typically range from $10,000 to $50,000 depending on the condition of the original engine and hardware.6:53 While modest in interior volume by modern standards, the Alberg 37 remains a capable ocean-crossing vessel, evidenced by documented circumnavigations and its ability to survive extreme conditions like the 1979 Fastnet Gale.3:55
